Integration with vBulletin - News Slideshow

...................

Here is your thread.

Please note: Someone has posted a pirated version of the commercial mod on this thread. So I altered this zip to remove some key codes pertaining to the original developper and sent him the full zip. He will in turn release it to you with the javascript.

Am I suppose to translate that someone posted a pirated version here into something?

To install, once you purchased the addon, upload the folder mod_fpslideshow and its content into the clientscript folder, making sure you chmod all the *.js to 777

Not here either. It says, "once you purchased the addon, upload the folder mod_fpslideshow and its content into the clientscript folder."

Is this encrypted language? Here is simple langauge:

"When you purchase the script you must then e-mail the devlopers at joomlaworks@gmail.com with your PayPal ID and they will send you the needed js file.

What am I missing?

Well if you go to a joomla site and purchase a vb module, then God bless the vendor if he can guess that specific customer is a vbulletin customer.

Go back and read my thread. If they are going to promote that they work with VBulletin then they should include the file. Just make a folder that says "vBulletin Only".

I e-mailed them yesterday and still have not received the file. So, in summary YOU are promoting this without telling people there are steps that can take days before getting this to work.

There are business men and terrible businessmen. Making people beg for a javascript file is a terrible business practice. They are proud to announce that their script works with vBulletin, but make you e-mail them to get the file. It is nice for people conisdering using this mod for Vbulletin that you have to ask for the script and then wait days for it to arrive. Full disclouse is needed.

God bless the vendor? No! Adding common sense to the vendoer would be better.

Finally, I am providing you useful feedback. Being defensive and refusing to take inputs is also a bad practice.

if you want I could tell him to refund you and you can forget about it. So why are you complaining here? Why don't you go and complain over there?

[michaelsilvia]

Just trying to give full disclosure so others don't go through my pain. No where in your first thread do you disclose that this could take days to accomplish. This seems fishy and a way for them to track how many people use vBulletin vice Joomla. Maybe a way to pay a commission to you? Why else would they require this terrible way of getting a mod to work with vBulletin?

By the way I still don't have the file. For those wanting to integrate this hack, know that you may have to wait days to actually get a single .js file to get it running. For some reason Lionel won't send it or attach to this thread. Makes you think.

If no one installed it i could not care so i don't have to read non senses like yours.
In fact, me I am no longer using it myself, and not supporting it either. Got much better than that in my home. Maybe I should just remove it and save myself some aggravations?

Had you been smart when you purchased it, then you would have been all set. Now this is the week end, you have to pay for your lack of judgement and wait.

I hope you'll be able to install it without any problems, because you are on your own.

[michaelsilvia]

You are my hero. I am sure you are a great businessman with your charm and patience.

By the way, I still don't have the file.

[Lionel]

I hope you get them next year :-)

[michaelsilvia]

I hope you get them next year :-)

I hope so also, that way people can see the true value of paying for this mod. It is 50-50% if you ever get the final piece to make it work, if you don’t mind wasting days of your time.

hey lionel

i am redesigning my website and am still using this mod, however I would like to use the updated v1.4 version of the fps script coming from joomlaworks.org which feature the thumbnails underneath the slideshow, rather then the numbers to switch between feature stories.

i requested the updated version from joomlaworks and received the files in my mailbox today ( mod_fpsslideshow_1.4.zip and com_fpsslideshow_1.1.zip ). I'm assuming just like when i initially installed this script that the mod_fpsslideshow_1.4 contains the files that are necessary for me to get the updated script running on my website and that the com_fpsslideshow is irrelevant. my question to you is, the updated 1.4 comes with two files mod_fpsslideshow.php and mod_fpsslideshow.xml. I checked the php file and it didn't seem to have any of the vbulletin variables (forum id, limit, etc.) that your slideshow.php file has here.

from my understanding your slideshow.php file doesn't support the updated version with the thumbnails underneath and is outdated? i could be wrong, but will I need an updated version of your slideshow.php file in order to get this updated version of the script working properly with vbulletin integration? any help with this is appreciated as i understand you are no longer supporting this script, but I do want to update to the latest version available so please help me out a bit if its not too difficult and you have the time. thanks a lot, looking forward to a reply from you.
